This is Part 2 of a Psychological First Aid series by CJSW Social Work Intern, Joshua Kent.

In this episode, Joshua discusses with co-host Olivia the different types of trauma their characters have experienced. They dive into how each person handles trauma differently, how their coping skills are affected and how behavior responses can differ dramatically.  In this episode, you will also hear some tips on how to support an individual who may be escalated, whether that be from a traumatic memory or just heightened emotions in general.
